characteristic as replacements. Never mend fuses! Pull the mains 

plug  before  replacing  a  fuse.  Should  a  fuse  blow  again  after  a 

short while, the device needs to be checked.

  9.  Never  install  your  amp  close  to  devices  with  strong  elec-

tromagnetic  fields  such  as  large  mains  transformers,  revolving 

machines, neon illumination etc. Do not lay signal cables parallel 

to power current cables.

10.  There are no user-servicable components inside the unit. To avo-

id the risk of an electric shock, the unit must not be opened. All 

maintenance, adjustment and repair works should be carried out 

by qualified staff only. Any unauthorized tampering will void the 

2-year warranty.

11.  In  keeping  with  the  EMV  regulations  screened  cables  with  cor-

rectly fitted connectors must be used for all signal connections.

12.  Always use an earthed power supply with the correct mains volta-

ge. If you are in doubt about the power outlet‘s ground, have it 

checked by a qualified technician.

13.  Cable up your amp only when it is powered off.
